Just curious why my Jeep doesn't ride like stock with OME lift

Only 2.5 lift though
Like @MutantNinjaTJ stated, you put stiffer shocks on it. Bigger and heavier tires. You have changed your Jeep’s suspension geometry. Of course its going to ride a bit different.

Not sure what the factory spring rates are compared to the OME heavy duty spring rates.

Like I mentioned and others have too, Rancho RS5000x shocks will compliment the springs and weight of the TJ a bit better than than the OME shocks.

They are the ometjhks version

Those are the NC Sports which often get confused for the older and no longer available Nitrochargers. Many of us thought the older NCs were a decent shock and comparable to the 5000x.

Same shocks here, the only change on mine was the OME LD springs & Sport shocks. While the ride seems ok overall, these shocks don't seem to like imperfections in the road surface all that much. Those seem a bit too harsh IMO.

I had OME suspension on two previous Jeeps and they were fine. I don't know why ARB decided to change the Sport shocks.

Makes you wonder why for sure. A member here once speculated that once the JK/JKU was released OME changed their shocks.

I guess I’ll be seeing ranchos soon but I wanna get Currie short arms and some Currie lift springs 4”. Do I need correctlync ? Or is mine ok?
Its suggested the Currie steering kit is for TJ’s/LJ’s with tires equipped with 33 inches or more and 4 inches of suspension lift or more.
